Feminism

1975 was at the height of second-wave feminism. The UN named 1975 "International Woman's Year". Time Magazine gave its "Person of the Year" award to the American Woman, declaring that "Feminism has transcended the feminist movement. In 1975 the women's drive penetrated every layer of society, matured beyond ideology to a new status of general — and sometimes unconscious — acceptance."
